Press) New Yoik, June -5.—The Arne;i car. people will be on trial before the world in the coming presidential cam paign, Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, declared today in an addre :, -upon assuming the permanent chair manship of the ’democratic nations convention. The issue he asserted, will be wheih er the American people will continue in power the party now in control of the government notwithstanding the scandals which have been disclosed in senate investigations. “I can not admit the accusation,’' Senator Walsh said, “that the Amei can people are indifferent to the cor roding influence -of corruption in of fice, high or 'ow. But we shall see. They are on trial. . “If, notwithstanding what ha: transpired the party now in powe, n the nation is continued in control by the choice of the people of the United States, pparent or real, what judgement must be passed upon then, by the world? They enjoy the dis tinction of having errected and main tained a government whose officers are as free from suspicion of venal ty as those on any nation on earth and they will not, I venture to pre diet, forfeit it.” Charging spokesmen of the Repa blican party with attempts at pa’lia JgOttu'Of, ,Ule_..ef£fcnsas,..of Abe. “unfaith ful public servants,” Senator Waish declared that it is in “th"| easy toler ance of turpitude n public office tlni the real peril to free government 'ie: rather than in its casual occurrence.” “The presdi-nt of the United State.' himself,” he continued, “has not hesi tated to endeavor to shield the delin quents from te public odom to which their derelictions have subjected them by joining in the hue and cry against the investigations that have been con ducted under the authority of the senate and against that body foi auhorizdng them. His message on the subject has for its plain purpose th. suppression of an inquiry into tin officia1 conduct of a member of hi: cabinet.” Senator Walsr said President Coo!', dge had historic warrant for his att. tude, recalling that when the Britis: house of commons sought to invest - gate the Duke of Buskingham, Char les would not permit it. “Charles lost his head,” the senv. tor added, and “Calvin Coolidge may profit politically by his example.” Declaring th eRepublican party *. be impotent in the face of “an impend ing national caiamity,” Senator Wa’sh I said that because of antagonisms within its ranks it had ceased to be an organization through which the l business of te country can be carried on.
